I believe someone of them are I believe that the sombra orgin is a little bit canon like the umbrum radianthope and amore:3 k

@Esteban  

 
Shadow Lock ended up having nothing to do with Sombra, so there was no conflict between the show and comic.

I imagine he had a family before he started his quest?

@Darth Sonic
 
I’m being somewhat smarmy, but a gag from Fake It had Fluttershy making a terrible teapot cozy.
 
This runs contrary to Flutters having “freaky sewing skills” in Suited for Success or knitting a tiny sweater in It Ain’t Easy Being Breezy.

@Dustcan  
I guess this was before condoms were a thing.
 
That second thing though, I feel like I’m missing some context. Are you saying Fake It broke canon somehow?

@Dustcan  
Then this comic is as much canon as the one where Starswirl defeat Sirens by rapping and doing country music without any mention of the pillars.

@Darth Sonic
 
Even if he hadn’t got his mack on with a woman before the sirens, the annual makes it clear that there’s weeks if not months in between the siren’s defeat and when he eventually goes full goth.
 
There’s plenty of time to squeeze five minutes in with a random mare, especially if she’s from his own village and is particularly grateful for his assistance against the sirens.

So more canon than Fake It Till You Make It, got it.

@Darth Sonic  
Then let’s me say this in another way. This comic is what “Fluttershy knitting comic” is to Fake it till you make it and “Siege of the crystal Empire” is to S9 where evil Sombra is ressurected.

@Esteban  
Are we really doing this? Because the shows canon to the comic, and we’re discussing the comics, so the question still stands.

@Darth Sonic  
the comics are not canon

So… Looking back on this, when the Hell did Stygian find time to get laid?

@Background Pony #8B0A  

 
Brother Cosmos?

I don’t think Sombra is his ancestor. That pony was clearly an alicorn with accessories similar to Celestia’s. I personally hope it’s the scrapped idea from the movie about Brother Cosmos.

There is also the fact that Shadow lock’s mane color is actually dark purple, not jet black.

I was thinking as I fell asleep last night that maybe these similarities were part of a deliberate ruse to make the reader think it was Sombra, til the villain reveal on the last page…
 
but then I was looking back and realized we already see the villain’s picture during Shadowlock’s story.

Sombra is likely a descendant himself of this new Evil. The drawing of the new villain is pretty clearly not Sombra, but I can’t deny the similarities between Sombra and Shadow Lock.
 
Maybe the new villain is the first Umbrum?

Dude lived to adulthood. Plenty of time to knock up Hope and/or any number of other mares/curious stallions.
 
‘course the major holes in OP’s theory is that A) the illustration in Shadowlock’s book doesn’t look like Sombra and B) Hope is the most likely dam, but there’s a very little window between when she could’ve had a child and when she left for the Umbrum dimension.

@FanOfMostEverything  
Maybe, Shadow Lock is Sombra’s son…FROM THE FUTURE!!!

@FanOfMostEverything  
That’s what I’m wondering. Like, Sombra isn’t even a pony! He’s an umbra, or something like that. If they can crossbreed, then technically it didn’t have to be Sombra who got some action. Instead, any umbra pony could have done it at any time previous to Sombra doing his stuff. That being said though, Shadow Lock being Sombra’s descendant makes thematic sense since they share the same conflict. So yeah, I bet they were implying that Sombra and Radiant porked before he went off the deep end. After all, they do both look to be of proper age by the time he flips out.

@Itsthinking  
Oh crap they’re different. There goes my “From Elvis to edgelord” joke…

@FanOfMostEverything  
He had a magical flesh suit made for him, he could probably manage it.

But when did Sombra reproduce? Could he in the comics?

They actually aren’t related somehow.
